When do the civic authorities intend to take steps to urge upon the marine department the necessity of blasting out the long shoal in the harbor, and opposite William and Johnson streets? Something should be done soon.

p.5 Visited The Harbor - Mr. Sing, chief engineer of the public works department for Eastern Ontario, visited the harbor today, on the steamyacht S. & Y., accompanied by Hon. William Harty, James Stewart, H.W. Richardson, Sanford Calvin, L.L. Henderson, J.E. Cunningham, John Donnelly, Francis King, Capt. Fraser, Capt. Foote (Hamilton), Joseph Hanley and Frederic Rees. The trip was to examine the shoals in the harbor. Mr. Sing said before the work proceeded it would be wise to have a survey made. James Stewart, however, supplied a copy of the survey made in 1898, and this was found satisfactory. The engineer will report the requirements to the department. A trip to Portsmouth was made to see the pier. Reeve Fisher was called out and it was found few in the village had asked for pier improvements. Mr. Sing left at noon for Mallorytown.
